Episode 23: Just do something: Simple ways to start in disability ministry

🎙️ Episode 23: Just do something: Simple ways to start in disability ministry

What if the call wasn’t to have it all figured out, but simply to start?

In this solo episode, Tony shares the story of how disability ministry came crashing into his life through an unexpected video, a sleepless night, and a Spirit-filled conviction that wouldn’t let him walk away. From that first “yes” to FCA’s All-Abilities ministry to the soccer leagues, community partnerships, and families now being served, this is the testimony of what God can do when we refuse to get stuck in the planning and simply do something.

This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the tears, the tensions, and the small steps of obedience that opened a door for families often left on the margins of the Church. Whether you’re a parent, a pastor, or someone wondering how to take your first step, this episode is for you.

🔶 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• The altar-stone moment when disability ministry became an undeniable “yes”
 • Why siblings, parents, and whole families need to be seen, not just the child with a diagnosis
 • The lesson of jerseys, trophies, and belonging from a four-week soccer league
 • How “just do something” became the guiding refrain for starting new ministries
 • The challenge to churches: progress over perfection, presence over polish
